Russia is reportedly deploying large numbers of Cold War–era tanks to frontline sectors in Ukraine. These include T-55 and T-62 models, both long retired from active service. OSINT sources and Russian milbloggers confirm visual sightings of these tanks moving through Volnovakha and Avdiivka, likely drawn from deep storage facilities in Siberia or the Far East. The use of such outdated hardware suggests not only depletion of modern tank reserves but also serious pressure on Russia’s armored divisions.Sources
